nggrfg is a revealing and hilarious one-man tour-de-force Play about a queer black kid negotiating the bewildering minefield of straight white Canada: from the schoolyard, to the perils of dating, to the “glamour” of showbiz. nggrfg is for anyone who has ever felt marginalized.

Directed by Canadian theatre legend Denis Simpson, nggrfg a riotous and poignant one-man tour-de-force about being black and gay in a world that doesn’t always have room for either. Inspired by words that are used to oppress, nggrfg explores the impact of these two words in intimate and humorous ways.

Since opening two years ago in Edmonton nggrfg has enjoyed sell out theatre and school performances across Canada.

“Playful and touching. McKenzie is an ebullient performer, (It) left this crusty old critic in tears, nggrfg is for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider.” Colin Thomas, Georgia Straight
